The LEC (former LCS EU) is the LoL championship of the European continent. G2 continues to dominate the competition. The team of Rasmus “Caps” Winther and company is the uncontested leader followed by Team Vitality and Splyce. Already Fnatic, current world runner-up, had a poor start in the LEC.

The player Elias “Upset” Lipe is the sole highlight of the competition, with a KDA 8.4 and 10.5 farm/min. The ad-carry of Schalke 04 is among the best players of the tournament.

With the name change of the European “sister”, LCS NA became LCS only. Team Liquid leads the competition, but Cloud9 and TSM are also in the fray. The tournament is packed with South Korean players and started with the promise of being top notch.

However so far, the teams that made such signings did not do well on Summoner’s Rift. Golden Guardians, OpTic Gaming, and 100 Thieves fight at the end of the table. The LCS final will take place on April 13, the day before the LEC.

LCK

In the current season, Griffin leads the competition. The mid-laner Jihum “Chovy” jung is the highlight of the competition: the player came to stay with KDA above 100 points.

T1 Entertainment & Sports, formerly SKT T1 and the biggest international champion with three titles, is in second place. The tournament ends on April 13.
